Christian Wilkins skipped the Logies this year – but that didn’t stop him heading out to the afterparties to mingle with the A-list.
The 29-year-old son of entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins was nowhere to be seen on the red carpet at The Star in Sydney.
While his father, dressed in a tux, posed alongside the media wall with some celebrity buddies, Christian opted not to attend the ceremony.
Instead, Christian dressed up to the nines at home, ready to party into the night with the night’s stars.
In photos shared on Instagram Stories, Christian showed off his look for the night, which included a skimpy, black and white sequin top that showed off lots of skin.
Christian also had a full face of makeup, courtesy of a celebrity makeup artist, and had his blonde locks styled.

‘Logies afterparty glam,’ he captioned a glamorous selfie shared ahead of the event.
It’s unclear if Christian was snubbed from the Logies or if he declined an invite this year.
The model and actor has certainly attracted controversy for his earlier appearance at the iconic awards show.
In 2022, he attended the Logies wearing a dress, which resulted in horrific comments from cruel trolls.
The socialite told ABC’s Insight that he received thousands of trolling comments after he dared to defy gender stereotypes by sporting a white backless gown on the red carpet.
‘People [were] telling me to OD, people telling me that I’m a disgrace,’ Wilkins said.
‘I mean, I was very surprised to find out that the patriarchy was so flimsy that it could be taken down by a piece of white silk.’
He also praised his parents, entertainment guru Richard Wilkins and flight attendant Michelle Burke, for continually supporting his gender expression.

‘As a kid, I always, kind of, loved anything that was pink and sparkly… I was never necessarily encouraged to wear dresses. But my parents said, if I wanted to, they would absolutely allow me to,’ he explained.
Indeed, Christian’s father Richard praised his son for expressing his unique style at the Logies, writing on Instagram: ‘To anyone who dares to suggest that I am in any way “ashamed” of my son Christian… for whatever reason… You are wrong!’
‘I could not be more proud!! He is an exceptional human being who will leave his stamp on the world long after his detractors have disappeared,’ the Nine presenter continued.
‘I love you unconditionally,’ he added.
